MSP432E401Y: i am trying to configure a crosscompiler (bareboard for MSP432E401Y )from GCC compiler using Cygwin

Part Number: MSP432E401Y

i need a crosscompiler to be configured from the GCC compiler as in our new project we cant use Compiler provided by TI ( as it will have optimizations ) which will affect our compliance , So i need to configure a cross compiler from GCC compiler using Cygwin ( i am using MSP432E401YTPDTR , its bareboard , the compiler will run on my windows 10 PC ). does anyone of you have any experience on this  or can any one guide me or suggest  me a place where i can get data related to this .

    Not sure which version of the GCC compiler you need to configure, but if you download a source tarball from GNU Arm Embedded Toolchain Downloads there should be a How-to-build-toolchain.pdf in the top level directory of the tarball which explains how to build the toolchain.

    When did this for GNU v7.2.1 the build process was to install a virtual machine for Ubuntu which built the toolchain for Linux and Windows. The only issue I ahd during the build of the toolchain was that the website the install-sources.sh script was trying to download the libelf source from was returning a HTTP 404, and so had to patch the script. See CCS/TMS570LC4357: HalCoGen code cannot be compiled with GCC

    I don't know which compliance standard you are working to, but would the TI Safety Compiler Qualification Kit help?

  • Our ability to help you build a GCC ARM compiler toolchain from source is limited.  I can tell you that the GCC ARM compiler that is supplied with Code Composer Studio is obtained from here.  That page has a button titled Ask questions.  That seems like a good place to ask questions about building your own toolchain.

    Thanks and regards,
